Aloha Roy,
Hard to believe it was just nine months ago that we exchanged
emails about some life issues, but here it is 2002 already!

I'm so pleased to hear from you and just reading your words
it's clear that your are grounded and balanced with a substantial
positive connection to Planet Ocean. The cetaceans have reached
into your heart, my brother, and wisdom has germinated a bloom
of insight and with it, apparently, a profound sense of joy. Nice
going!
The future is now, my friend. We don't have to wait for it to
happen, don't need to plan for it's unfoldment. We need to just
live it and be the new paradigm of living from the Heartbrain.
The more we trust it as the way it is, and let it be that way
inside-out, the easier it will be for everyone. In these times
of accelerated change, we are the ones to hold the integrity of
what is true. And that basic truth is simply love instead of fear
and things will get better and healthier. Works every time!

Do keep me posted on you progress and when you are ready to
meet the Hawaiian dolphins of Kona, lemme know. I'll be happy
to introduce you to my friends and teachers.

On Sunday, September 30, 2001 at 7:59 pm
in Los Angeles, California,
Dr. John C. Lilly passed from this life. We offer this small tribute
to a man we loved.

Back in the materialistic 1950's, way before
the New Age movement, it
was Dr. John Lilly who was scientifically exploring the human
brain,
inter-species communication and altered states of awareness. Since
then he has been a major leader in these explorations. Two movies
have been made based on his life: Day of the Dolphin and Altered
States. In the early days other scientists claimed Dr. Lilly was
strange and unscientific. In the later days Dr. Lilly was proven
right and the others proven wrong.
What a life he had! During World War II Dr. Lilly was riding B29
bombers to study how various altitudes were affecting the body.
In
the '70's and '80's he was flying in heightened states of awareness
to see how spirit and the mind affect the body. Many thousands
of
people have been inspired to higher states of awareness by John
Lilly!! Ourselves included.
About 10 years ago when John moved to Maui we started to collaborate
with him on our "Dolphin and Whale Adventures in Consciousness".
So
many good trips sailing around the Hawaiian Islands and learning
from
a great mind linked to the great mind in the waters. Each journey
was
an adventure and through the years our friendship became a
mentorship. In 1993 he stood in for my father and gave me in marriage
to Raphael. John and Raphael were a dynamic duo. I always enjoyed
the
similarity of these two men, both so close to my heart. During
these
Hawaiian days John became a proficient Rap artist with Raphael.
John's hit song was called 'I Know Nothing.' Our music is inspired
by
the whales, dolphins and John's insights. Our album "The
Calling" is
an unforgettable contribution to the Cetacean Nation and includes
a
rap 'The Journey' by John. John called Raphael's album "Angels
of the
Deep" the Cetacean National Anthem. There are so many precious
moments we shared with him and we will be forever thankful for
his
courage to explore new realms of consciousness and his ability
to
share his wisdom and humor in a way that left us all better human
beings..
John, wherever you are, our thoughts, prayers and love will be
remaining with you. Wherever we are your courage, thoughts and
love
will be with us.
With deepest gratitude
Kutira and Raphael, on the island of Maui.

John C. Lilly (1915-2001) was
a medical scientist, research neuro-physiologist, psychoanalyst,
and received a B.Sc., and M.D. He was the author, co-author, and
subject of several books: Man and Dolphin, 1961; The
Dolphin in History (with Ashley Montague), 1963; The Mind
of the Dolphin, 1967; Programming and Metaprogramming in
the Human Biocomputer: Theory and Experiments, 1972, 1987;

and E.J. Gold, 1995.

Aloha,
Like so many of us, I continue to solidify my commitment to Love
and Peace by holding strong the energy and space, so it cannot
be washed away with the swiftly moving current/wave of negativity.

It will continue to be a constant test of my resolve as
the forces of Fear try to take complete charge of the global events
unfolding. Every moment counts as an opportunity to contribute
to the creation of a positive new world of compassion. Focus is
important.

Questions of accountability need to be felt by each individual
on this material plane of manifestation, as I truly believe we
are all in this together. I know I am asking what part of myself
still allows for such atrocities to exist within me to the extent
that they are made manifest. Continued bloody conflicts and senseless
deaths can only exist as long as we allow such a level Fear/Hatred
to exist. Every human should be held accountable so that self-soul-searching
becomes the primary question being asked, as opposed to revenge
or any warlike thoughts/activity that we already know merely serves
to enhance itself. In this way, it is the time of Judgment so
prophesied.

How many more must die to break this chain? We, as a people,
as a single race of beings on this nexus point on consciousness,
must decide. Ask the questions of Why instead of What and How,
I say. Listen more and speak less in this time of Awakening. Allow
Hatred to empty its cup of the lies and fear while standing ready
to fill it with Love and Compassion. Let our Light from Within
be our shields against the Shadows from Without. Keep Being the
Light.

Aloha HeunYK,
Thank you for your email and a shared interest in dolphin communication.
I believe, from what you've indicated in your brief statements,
that you are on the right track of exploring parallel dimensions
as a conceptual basis to establish a level of understanding as
to how cetaceans may communicate. Mathematics in general and I
suspect geometric codes and configurations in particular, seem
to offer common tools and symbols for our understanding the complexity
of any 'alien intelligences.'

In my opinion, this understanding is made more difficult
because most human thinking is contained in a 'box,' while I believe
there are 'energy systems' and intelligences that exist outside
of that perception. One may only entertain such notions if willing
to remove oneself from the box long enough to take an 'intuitive
leap.' Metaphors are abundant for the process to higher consciousness,
but still the number of people willing to grasp their true meanings
have been few. That's all changing rapidly even as we speak, I
feel.

Many of the dolphin researchers I know refer to the cetacean
mode of expression as Holographic in nature, because of their
use of sound vibrations to define their 'Reality' multidimensionally.
The "Father" of cetacean communication research, Dr.
John C. Lilly [www.johnclilly.com], tried emphatically to apply
Scientific Process in solving the complexity of a dolphin 'language.'
He even sought to invent a new language that could be used to
bridge the formidable gap between the sensibilities of our two
similar and highly advanced species. So far, no direct language
has been found. I think that's because humans, for the most part,
are focused on a contained concept of the Reality Matrix, while
Cetacean mentality appears to push out in all directions simultaneously.
An entirely different system -- one that's outside of the 'box.'

Both dolphins and whales of every species function on such
a highly refined level of awareness of vibrational dimensions,
that we humans have yet to invent or even conceive of ways or
instruments to measure such sensitivity [the invention of sonar
is an extremely crude (and dangerous) replication of the cetacean
bio-sensors]. So, for that and other reasons, scientists have
failed in establishing to the satisfaction of the 'in the box'
community of Consensus Reality mythmakers, a communicative link
that provides proof of their exquisite intelligence beyond the
physical facts already established. An intelligence that performs
beyond the intellectual capacity of humans. In other words, the
Consensus Reality we humans still hold in place, has no room for
another sentient race of intelligence beings, equal to, or greater
than our own. Not yet anyway.

A few of us who have spent considerable concentrated time
with the free swimming dolphins and whales, have begun to form
a bridge of understanding that is an intuitively based system.
One that allows for the existence of such beings and accepts a
'new reality paradigm' along with the potential "Holographic
Universe" it defines. Because such a level of understanding
relies upon the subjective elements each individual brings to
the equation, it is physically improbable to freely invent a new
tonal/language system that both species can readily identify and
be willing to utilize. I would suspect however, that if such a
system would be realized and accepted, the very first message
we might expect to receive from cetaceans would be, "Stop
slaughtering us!" But, even that is 'in the box' thinking
on my part.

Aloha All,
All around and within the spiritual community there is a sense
of a huge opening in the etheric 'window' between the worlds as
the mass of souls pass between dimensions and there is much confusion
on multiple planes of existence. This is THE opportunity to exercise
everything we believe and have trained ourselves to do on such
nonphysical planes, and now must be put into action. That is to
say, press hard the intention of Love and Peace into this wounded
atmosphere, so tender and yet pliable to the whims of change that
are fluttering the consensus reality like a rag.
We can create clarity and purpose amongst the confusion and uncertainty.
This is what we are to do and why we have collectively chosen
to be aware of our own consciousness in this frame of Time and
Space.

Aloha Robert,
Thanks for your emails and the most recent "download"
of information you have received. I can verify that you are certainly
on the right track with your thinking and the impressions you
are receiving are starting to gain form and clarity, but I should
caution you against drawing any kind of conclusions from the ongoing
"messages" you receive. Our species tends to form lines
of thought like visual lines of perception that naturally draw
towards a single point on the horizon of our infinity. Cetaceans
are helping us to perceive holographically, from a non-local,
multidimensional perspective, where everything occurs simultaneously
and each point contains the whole which is contained within each
point like a fractal pattern of unfoldment. Granted, this takes
some getting used to, my friend, but worth the effort and needed
concentration if that is one's goal for ascension. It's a great
deal easier for me to devote full time to such a thing, as that
is the life I've chosen here in Hawaii.

However, I cannot speak of your situation and the desire
that burns in your belly to help a child towards self-fulfillment.
I can only say that I believe our dreams can manifest reality
if they provide true clarity of intent and unconditional love
from the heart center. I have experienced this and have seen it
in action many times. Each one of us has that true center, and
once found and understood, can literally move mountains with our
will (but, we don't need to). We have evidence that the ancients
knew of such things and ways of being. The Cetaceans have been
living within such a reality for untold eons of time and exist
beyond all perceived limitations of time and space. They understand
better than we do that living is a cocreative act of faith and
love with the Divine All, and have learned to allow for its unfoldment
rather than trying to control it as humans have a tendency to
do.

Humans on this planet are suffering from a profound sadness
and sense of abandonment from thinking we are alone in this Universe.
The Cetacea are here to prove otherwise, and reveal an even higher
purpose (make that porpoise!). With all change comes some degree
of upheaval, especially among those resisting change. I do not
see an impending doom, or disaster knocking at our doors, but
rather a seasonal blending from one state of being to another.
Humans are still exceptionally crude and rude, but we are quick
learners and are refining our skills and sensibilities. Yes, the
children hold the keys to our future but the reality of this moment
belongs to child within you Heart. Breath easy and fully and know
that the ocean before you is vast beyond comprehension, and it
will not go away anytime soon.

Hi Wayne!
Seems like just yesterday that we'd don Hawaiian shirts and army
boots to make a spectacle in the Kimball High halls, eh? Who'd
have guessed we were forty years ahead of our time! Ha!

Gosh, what a family-type-guy and parental-kinda-life you've
had, my old friend. You've sired two families while I chose to
have no children in both of my long-term relationships. [I think
I was too selfish to be a parent...] You've successfully pursued
a company career while I've been involved with single partnerships
or solo ventures. My days as an art dealer and gallery director
seem distant to me now, but it was a highly active and fascinating
period in my life that has left me with a wealth of experience
though little monetarily. I have often chosen a path of least
resistance while consciously avoiding any responsibility of trying
to own anything in a material way. I can only own up to myself
and claim authenticity in the life I create each moment of every
day. I figure I must have made a few right decisions along the
way, though none were easy or clear cut, as now I find myself
living in Paradise, in a wonderful house overlooking the magnificent
Big Blue Pacific and living life consciously while having the
luxury of close friends within the community of dolphin-people
(pod-heads) with loving, sustaining energies, to continue to grow
and nurture dreams of the Heart. I'm clearly a Bohemian in every
sense of the word, so nothing's changed in that regard since even
way back then. Eh?

All three of my watches (over $3000 in timepieces!) decided
to stop within the first month of my moving here four years ago,
confirming on some level that I had stepped over into an alternative
form of Time and into the 'Reality Matrix.' And like "The
Matrix" movie, I had taken the "red pill," gone
down the rabbit hole and now live on the other side of the looking
glass. [It's actually pretty cool over here, I have to say.] :o)
On any given day I get up from my bed on the lanai and look down
over the expanse of aquablue 1000 feet below to check if a group
of fins can be seen or even better, a friendly spinner-jump at
precisely the right moment, as if to extend an invitation to join
them. Let's see, do I surf the waves today or surf the Net? Hmmm.

One of the things I really enjoy doing is facilitating and
organizing the dolphin swims for groups and individuals. I'll
probably always want to do such a thing with people as it never
gets old and is never ever the same. One could say that I've become
somewhat known for my work within certain circles of Cetacean
people around the world. Over the past few years I've appeared
in two Japanese made documentaries and have been written about
in national magazines and local media for my support of the concept
of a "Cetacean Nation" ["CETACEAN NATION WEBSITE!"
]. I just organized and MC'd a community event in mid-May at the
local art-movie house as a letter writing rally to STOP LFAS and
it drew well over three hundred in a little over three hours and
the campaign generated over 10,000 letters to legislators about
the issue in just over two weeks. Considering how small our community
is, I was very proud of the outcome. Unfortunately even though
the Navy's low-frequency sonar has been shown and reported (Peter
Jennings and Dan Rather both did special reports on the Bahamas
strandings/deaths last year) as killing dolphins and whales, most
people don't even know of it's existence or the multibillion dollar,
tax-funded expenditure for 80% global deployment of this deadly
and reckless technology. So a percentage of my free time is spent
on furthering that information campaign. Have a look at my web
page: "STOP the Madness of LFAS " for details and spread
the word to everyone you know. This is serious stuff, Wayne. Like,
by wiping out sea life, we can instantly destroy the entire global
eco-balance within a generation. Problem is: Navy engineers say,
"It sure looks good on paper..." Urgh! It's time to
make decisions based upon organic principles before precious resources
are lost forever.

On a lighter side, there isn't a day that goes by that I don't
feel incredibly blessed with good fortune. I have great caring
and loving relations with most people and even though I've been
out of any kind of close relationship for the past year, my energy
is high and I greet each moment as if I'd just fallen in love.
It's cool to feel this way and I've discovered that it's just
there for the asking as clear intent manifests before my very
eyes. The dolphins have demonstrated to me countless times the
way to deeper meaning and core issue cognition, but nothing can
be opened until the veils of secrecy are dropped. Hope that's
not too metaphysical or new agey for you. I'm really not into
the "airy-Faerie" stuff, as they say, just someone who
loves being in zero gravity with another race of sentient beings
who have wonderful things to teach me and others who can manage
to be quiet and listen...

So, that's a little taste of my lifestyle, my old friend. I've
given up the need to know or foster expectations and therefore
have opened myself to full potentiality. It's a blast being alive
and conscious at this remarkable time of transformation and enlightenment
on Planet Ocean. I'm sure glad you could be around to enjoy it
as well. Keep in touch if you feel the urge. I won't be straying
too far from this spot as it sure feels like I've arrived at my
home base. I'll look forward to your report on the Class of '66
reunion. In the meantime,

Be Well and Swim Free,

Doug(las)

Aloha Robert,
Yes, I agree that the huge sweeping changes towards an expanded
awareness and consciousness on our planet must certainly be nurtured
through the children. The dolphins themselves are a personification
of that childlike quality of which you speak -- open, receptive
and forgiving of differences. All of the truly creative free spirited
people I've ever known have had that special quality as well,
whether they were a world famous artist or the head of a large
corporation. So, it feels like the entrance to such a new liberated
frame of mind and way of being, is through an understanding of
how to preserve such a state and remind ourselves of the importance
getting in touch with its essence within each of us. It's about
healing ourselves as a culture by recognizing the very child that
is our consciousness just now awakening to itself.

I went back and read Ken Grimwood's visionary 1995 book,
Into the Deep, again, just picking out the parts where
he was speaking from the dolphin's perspective. As in that book,
I deeply sense we're on the edge of major breakthroughs with mass
consciousness accepting the possibility of another sentient race,
the primary sentient race of the planet, opening up our frail
and narrow sensibilities to the next tier of awareness and evolution.
Something in my craw tells me that it's my dharma in all of this
~ a translator perhaps of the modern Pythias Oracle from the temple
at Delphi, offering new insights that may help balance and mend
the troubled hearts of humankind. I can only wait to see what
Spirit may have in store while continuing to hone my personal
vehicle to be ready for whatever that might be. So far, this past
eighteen months have provided many such insights and visions and
with it, more opportunities to move the information outward. I
still would like to see a unification process take place among
the Cetacean affiliates on a global basis. As we find common causes
with LFAS and IWC, this process is beginning to take shape. I
feel if we can continue to keep the common ground of recognition
of another sentient life form as central to whatever themes promote
our endeavors, we may yet join with the "Source Mind"
of planetary consciousness that Grimwood describes. I sense it
is part of the consensus shift in perspective from one of Planet
Earth (solid, limited and isolated) to that of the more natural
way of thinking, Planet Ocean: fluid, connected and free of gravity.
It's right there is front of our faces, just waiting to be recognized.

Aloha Geoff,
Your concern for the ocean is very real and appreciated. Interestingly
enough your argument for a "day of silence" is almost
identical to that the US Navy is using under the guise of "National
Security" to get permission to blast the loudest noise ever
conceived into 80% of the oceans! LFAS is the other end of the
spectrum from your "passive listening" model. It's "active"
pulses go beyond the measure of human disregard for Planet Ocean
and has already been shown to be lethal to cetaceans and other
sea life. Yet, the war machine trods on...

LFAS is not just about US coastal waters anymore, it's about
the entire planet's oceans being "lit up" with this
new technology that is clearly in complete reckless disregard
of our most important global eco-energy system.

What can we do? Tell everyone you know and have them forward
it on, and on, and on...

We can keep the information flow wide open to the point
that "secrets" loose their potency as implements of
separation. The only clear understanding of a global mentality
and sensibility by humans is to begin to exist as part of the
natural harmonic flow. Like Cetaceans do. Instead of trying to
control it, we must learn to allow it. Yes, the ancients all knew
about such things, and now our culture has reached a point of
being able to grasp its significance once more. We are reaching
a critical mass because "energy flows where attention goes"
and a new flood of information and understanding is being made
available to a larger percentage of the populace than ever before
in recorded history outside of a few localized areas (such as
Ancient Greece). The other factor is, of course, that humans rarely
pay attention to anything unless it blows up in our face!

And yes, the Cetaceans know about such things for it is
ingrained as part of their biologic makeup. How else could they
have survived, and in such style I might add, for all these millions
and millions of years? The sooner humans recognize the we are
not the only sentient race on the planet the faster we will turn
our egoic, misplaced survival instincts, into productive, co-creative
processes that act to balance and harmonize rather than disrupt
and terrorize. We're turning that corner as a consciousness right
at this most critical time in our fragile history. The Cetaceans
are helping us with it more than one can possibly imagine and
certainly more than conventional wisdom recognizes. Right now
we may yet realize the folly of our carelessness and open up to
a new understanding of the way it can be. The painless way. Yes,
we do have such a choice.

So, please continue to dream a new reality, Geoff. And if
enough minds join together in that dream it can be made to become
a reality. What else is really worth our time? It is much more
than "luck" I can tell you.

The following email was sent to a radio talk-show host
seeking information on LFAS. Her program has to do with healing
modalities and is broadcast over the Internet as part of WWW.WisdomRadio.com.
The information continues coming in to me at this time. I trust
it will resonate with those of you feeling similar shifts occurring.
Anyway, take anything from it that may be of worth and let go
of the rest. ~ d.

Aloha Colleen,
Nice to speak with you today about the LFAS issue. I've been involved
with this specific awareness campaign for over a year now and
know many others who've been trying to bring this serious issue
to the public's attention for over 10 years. It still represents
only a fragmentary shift compared to what's happening deep within
each of us, I believe.

I'll be pleased to speak with you on the
radio to continue this campaign from a grass roots level upward,
which I believe has even more significance than from some huge
media attention flowing on down. Reason being that "energy
flows where attention goes" (ancient Hawaiian Huna belief
system) and an upward flow of information is preferable to a downward
spiral. Get me on this?

It's all about Humans learning to comprehend
and manipulate subtle energy systems as the next step in our evolution
of consciousness. The Cetaceans (whales & dolphins) know all
about these subtle vibrational systems and utilize them as part
of their Holographic understanding and utilization of the Reality
Matrix on an everyday basis. I believe those of us who've established
contact with this intelligent species on such levels are beginning
now to form the base line for a consensus shift of mass consciousness.
This expanded awareness is still localized at present, such as
the case was with the ancient Greeks, but as we approach 'critical
mass' or just over 5% of the populace, this new understanding
will take hold very quickly and be integrated in every aspect
of the human perceptions of the Reality Matrix. It's time for
humans to realize we are not alone as the only intelligent and
sentient species on this planet.

Collective
consciousness is in a major birthing process right now and so
the 'labor pains' are still gaining more attention than the product
of the labor - a new view of Reality that offers freedom from
the need for pain or fear based belief systems as a core choice.
This may well be the ominous 'final battle' for control of the
Collective Unconscious. Our Higher Selves are switching on the
light, so to speak, to illuminate the darkness of secrecy and
covert actions, thus rendering them impotent. Naturally, the ruling
power elite will do everything in it can to prevent this illumination
from happening, as they'd like to keep things just as they've
comfortably been for the past 12000 year cycle in a state of fear
and separation. They can't of course ... change is inevitable
as we push towards a new sidereal season of subtle energy vibrations
and the new understanding and manifestational properties they
carry for all who would choose to recognize such things. The New
Babylon

As
informational flows continue to open as they are with telecommunications
(Like LFAS, another primitive electronic replication of bio-sonic
systems used by Cetaceans) secrets as a means to create and maintain
separation, will loose potency. We are already seeing signs of
people in the healing arts and other art forms, utilizing this
new understanding to consciously manipulate their immediate environment.
A new language system is developing to describe the sensations
of such expanded awareness. Individual consciousness is quickly
evolving to realize the shared responsibility and benefits of
a Co-Creating 'Multivers' as it applies to a Holospheric understanding
of the Reality Matrix.

I
am very positive about facilitating this critical transformation
in consciousness; first, I might add, on a personal level, and
then with others. I deeply feel that in order to heal our fragile
Planet Ocean, the process must begin with each individual cell
of consciousness and emanate outward. We've gone the other way
long enough...

Last night's Aloha Theater miracle was a relative exercise
in energy movement on a local scale. However, what is being born
from this experience is a glimpse of a larger view - an ascended
view. A view of our planet, the solar system, and beyond, that
is familiar to more humans than ever in our recorded history.
It is a perspective that is increasing arithmetically with each
day as information spreads to every corner of the globe. We are
transforming into a global society and finding that no one ideology,
no one government, no one individual is suitable to such a task
of unification of consciousness. Instead, our individual core
belief systems must meld into a new description of reality. One
in which we all assume equal responsibility for our actions, thoughts
and deeds. An atmosphere of whole Truth with zero need for secrecy,
because we are able and willing to recognize the core source in
one another.
I'm talking about a massive transformation in consciousness that
is occurring at this time and fast approaching critical mass.
Once this point is reached the Truth that is "Out There"
but actually 'In There,' is revealed for what it really is: Fear
is a choice and not the instinctual imperative of survival we've
been led to believe. At that point we can see ourselves as a physical
being that is a mere reflection of a greater self that exists
beyond the so-called limitations of Time and Space. Our consciousness,
as energy or a LightBeing can move faster than the speed of Light
through the simultaneity of Thought, and connect with the far
reaches of the galaxy. As we learn to understand and use this
new sensibility, and develop new models of behavior that recognize
it, we will see the same doors opening that the 'ancients' knew
about. Doors of perception that open to a connectivity of consciousness,
a telempathic interconnectivity with all other energy systems,
physical and nonphysical, that possess intelligence and abilities
far beyond our present capabilities to measure. That's because
we as a race have not yet developed the one 'tool' to grasp and
deal with it: the Human Consciousness. But how can we do this
as a frail race of beings that still struggles for conscious awareness
less than 7 to 10% of the time?

I believe that a very real way of understanding this next level
of our evolution is by looking at the most evolved, conscious
physical species on our planet: the Cetaceans. The whales and
dolphins have had fifty-million years as air breathing mammals
with evolved brains and brain stem even more developed than humans,
and possessing capabilities far greater than our limited abilities
to deal with and comprehend one's environment. They have lived
in complete balance and harmony with little or no change, without
negatively affecting the planetary ecology or warring, torturing,
enslaving or massacring any other species, including themselves.
We must loose our arrogance and limited thinking as a race and
open our minds to the very real alternative that is being presented
to growing numbers of humans who are having interactive encounters
with dolphins and whales on a planetary scale like never before.

In writer, Ken Grimwood's book of 1995, "Into the Deep,"
the author describes a fictional account of the actual opening
of lines of communication with the Cetaceans. I believe it is
a case of Life following Art, because like this book of fiction,
the world is reaching a critical situation with its technology
that is about to recklessly destroy our very physical existence.
The dolphins and whales, knowing of this unfolding scenario, allow
for the opening of these channels of communication so we might
shift our perspective from one of seeing ourselves as a solitary
race to one of accepting the possibility of another, equal, or
even much more intelligent as to the essential nature of existence.
In that book, the world was saved from a catastrophe in the ocean
by this union of communication between species. I feel in my heart
that we face similar circumstances with these new tools of war
being released into our oceans. I pray that the Cetaceans may
help us realize the folly of our ways in time to divert further
pollution and destruction of our most precious resource: Planet
Ocean!

To look beyond Cetaceans as simply big smart cows or herds of
antelopes, Humans might gain more appreciation if we considered
the millions of years of evolution that have matured them as a
race of beings. Many in our society readily accept the idea of
a "Star Wars" or "Close Encounters "
type alien race form existing and perhaps even currently visiting
us or secretly either trying to help or destroy the Human Race,
depending on the spin. Some survey pointed to a whopping 69% polled
as saying they believed in the possibility of an alien race or
races that are already in contact with Humans. What if we began
to look upon Cetaceans as Dr. John Lilly suggested: as a bonafide
alien race of beings that have consciously evolved beyond the
primitive use of tools of any kind other than their own built-in
biosystems? Cetacea appear to have found a balanced form of expression
of their life forces that are certainly much more sophisticated
and evolved than Human technologies pretend to be. Cetaceans in
over 50 million years have never negatively impacted the entire
Planet Ocean to such a degree as our own vicious species has done
in the last century alone, and yet we have acted in total ignorance
of this possibility. That we might have something to learn from
a species that exhibits more inherent intelligence than our own,
hasn't even occurred to our culture since the ancient time of
the Greeks. That is until these past fifty years. Consider this:
the mere idea of alien creatures among us has been fed into the
media mind for that same amount of time, interestingly enough.
Is it possible the Cetacean collective consciousness could have
influenced Human mass consciousness in such as way as to draw
our destructive attention away from their precious oceans and
focus it on outer space? Could it be that they know something
we don't? Or perhaps it is simply, what the "Shaman said:
Man is the Dream of the Dolphin."
